  • at the beginning the dude looks like an old Robert Irvine

  • we are doomed Fucking RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNnnn

  • i would get a flogging if i put a rock in my dads coffee

  • We watched this in geography :)

  • @kayra97 me too haha just watched it today :D

  • this is a beautiful documentary. I just hope it won't happen anytime soon.......

    As usual, BBC did a great job!

  • @StargazerJGT

    We have 2012, so we all doomed...DOOOMED!

  • @lykan2 lol, I don't believe in that 2012 end of world stuff. ;)

  • @StargazerJGT

    me too, but its funny :P

  • i need help

  • One thing that CANNOT be denied is that IF, or rather when yellowstone decides to blow, if that is the supervolcano we all know and fear, then say goodbye to USA...

  • @supervegito2277: Oh, I don't know. What if it puts off coming for, say, 4000 years? What will we be capable of then? I'm pretty sure that anything you come up with will be short of the mark. Perhaps by then we'd just put a cap on it and use the heat for more energy. Who knows?

  • @puncheex well... yeah didnt take technologic evolution into consideration but i think it would be a bit more than just "put a cap on it"... what about the pressure??

  • @supervegito2277: I don't want to be caught in trying to gainsay the future, but I would imagine that it would be something more subtle than that - perhaps something like cutting off the heat source at the feed below the magma reservoir, or some way of draining off the pressure. 4000 years is a long time to us; we haven't had plate tectonics for more than about 60 years.

  • Just finished this movie in school today(: Its really cool(:

  • i watched the movie at my school and its not bad

  • It won't happen for 10,000 more years. Don't panic

  • @johnairlines8 I wouldn't be so sure about that if I were you. Recent reports have shown an alarming series of earthquakes in the vacinity since 2004. Strange things are occurring. It has erupted every 600,000 years. The last time was 640,000 years ago. Yes, it is long overdue.

    Google it for more information. You will be a bit surprised.

  • @cadrolls: No, that's wrong. Y has had 12 caldera eruptions in 17 million years, or one every 1.4 million years. The last three happened to have been at 2.1 mya, 1.3mya and 640,000 years ago. There is no evidence when the next may happen; could be 600,000 years, 700,000 years or 2 million years. Even including minor eruptions (150) the average is 113,000 years, and the last of those was 70,000 years ago. Overdue is a simple guess, no more accurate than a million years.

  • @puncheex maybe but overdue is still scary no matter what...

    still i heard the same as cadrolls, so if it isnt true... then how are you so sure yours are??

  • @supervegito2277: Read my post. What claim did I make? As far as I know, there is no way at all to predict when it will rise again, or what that rise will consist of. I only stooped to debunk the "it's overdue" canard. I have no predictions. It could happen tomorrow, or a million years from now, with just about equal probability.

  • @puncheex true... the "overdue" line is just from the fact that following other cycles it should have went boom now... thats what i read thats what cadrolls wrote, and not what you wrote...

    nevernontheless whats ment by "overdue" is that lets say a volcano has erupted for thousand years with an eruption cycle of 10 (every 10 years=boom) then we are 1012 years from first eruption and 12 years from last one...

  • Comment removed

  • @puncheex i never said my source was perfect... i was basically asking why you though you were??

    actually we can also say we dont know that those eruptions was that precise either...

    from what i know its VERY hard to get precise with science...

  • @puncheex btw why was one of them deleted and the other marked as spam??

    you made some very good points... i was just curious for knowledge.

  • @puncheex btw its still not close to those 1.4 million you mentioned and that was were i got suspicious

  • @supervegito2277: I deleted one of my posts after I fixed an error in it with a new copy. I don't see any marked spam, so I don't know.

    Counting the last three eruptions, the average is 2.1myr/3 = 700,000 years. The last 4, its 4.45myr/4 = 1.11 myr. If you count all 12 caldera forming eruptions, it's 17myr/12 = 1.4 myr.

  • @puncheex i see that BUT things change over time and to be fair i think counting the latest ones is the best...

    besides what i read from that is that the interval in the cycles has been getting smaller.... what if it keeps doing that...

    you know the opposite of an expontinel ...erh whats x+y=z called in english?

  • @supervegito2277: OK, I've had my say.  Carry on.

  • @puncheex that would make most persons nervous, however there are many suggestion. it could have died, or it could be charging up for a finish move.

    btw i HATE youtubes char limit in comments....

  • @supervegito2277: No. It hasn't died. They know how to determine that, and it is still there. It WILL erupt, but perhaps not for a million years, and that won't be the end, likely. I think it will rototill a path across Montana and cross into Canada, in about 30 million years.

  • @puncheex well i dont have any sources for that :D

    but yeah its still a scary thing... but if im right (IF) then the longer it takes before boom, the bigger the boom can be.

  • This movie sucks

  • @Dannyboy011000 You are just shitting your pants dannyboy keep up with the fact this is gonna happen anyway.

  • the supervolacano will only show us what happend if chuck norris fart

  • This is quoted in the Bible" Fire and Brimestone shall destroy the Earth" Time is near..

  • if your scared go to church!

  • I watched this in my GSCE Geography class today its a awesome film

  • @SickCodMoments is geography GCSE easy or hard

  • @lily12star2go Its easy if you get and its really interesting :) Im enjoying it

  • @SickCodMoments most people who took geography sed it was hard and i didn't do geograhy because it looks really hard but i like it

  • yeah.. screw black holes,volcanos are more deadly... o.0

  • Looks like there will be an eruption from the long dormant El Hierro volcano in the Canary islands soon. 9000 tremors up to 3.9 since July with ground deformation.

  • what was that rock that the kid was talking about?

  • @Xxelement32762XX pumex(in Latin),pumice in English

  • The thing that freaked me out most about this movie when I was younger, is that the town where the black guy's ((Don't remember his name.)) roof caves in from the ash; Bozeman Montana, is the town I was born in.

  • I have this on DVD.

  • Of course Mexico would close their border to keep the Americans out!

  • omg the siberian traps volcanic eruption wasnt bigger than yelowstones come on now it was just spread out over a longer time but the eruption today would definetely destroy us all the ash cloud would spread and you know it.

  • omg the siberian traps volcanic eruption wasnt bigger than yelowstones come on now.

  • Do you know what's scary? The fact that there are hundreds of nuclear facilities all over USA, and when Yellowstone Caldera finally blows, all the radioactive material will be spread to every corner of the earth. Remember how the Fukushima disaster lead to elevated levels of radiation in rainwater and air all over the world? Now multiply that by 10,000 times and you'll get the picture. Let's not forget to combine that with ash, toxic gasses, 12.0 earthquakes, megatsunamis..

    ..WE'RE SCREWED!!

  • @HugoTheSavant All our nuclear missiles are in hardened silos, they are safe from just a little ash

  • @tinkertoy0fu77

    LOL, I wasn't talking about nuclear missiles, I was talking about the nuclear power plants and all facilities that contain radioactive material. If just Fukushima alone raised worldwide radiation levels, just imagine most of the plants in USA being destroyed, and many worldwide experiencing earthquakes. Nuclear bombs can't contaminate the world as much as all the nuclear plants and facilities combined.

  • Comment removed

  • REALLY CUT IT FF AT THE POINT OF AN EARTHQUAKE?!?!?!

  • This I can see happening, 2012 not somuch

  • HAVE MERCY ON US, WE KNOW NOT WHAT WE DO.

  • 2012 is not tru. yellow stone that might be real.

  • I remember watching this when it was on BBC1/2 XD I totally didn't realise Dr. Tom was in it XD. Love that he still has the beard, and the hair. It's just longer. And YAY random Scottish actor XD

  • damn,, sheyt,, this one single volcano will possibly kill us all?

  • @kenthpogi If Yellowstone Super Volcano went kaboom it wouldn't single-hand-idly annihilate all life on Earth put the eruption will do severe damage to North America and plunge the globe into a decade long ice age

  • @TheCelloMan100 ... Toba didn't 75,000 years ago. Yellowstone didn't annihilate all life 2.1? million years ago when it spewed more crap than it did 640,000 years ago. That eruption didn't end all life either. Even bigger, look up the Siberian traps volcanic event. That was way bigger than a Yellowstone eruption could ever possibly be and though it did cause a mass extinction, it didn't end ALL life.

  • 2012

  • wow he owes her so much money

  • How many of us actually check the graphs and info for earthquakes and magma movements under Yellowstone? Do we build our buildings to protect and preserve us for 4 weeks? Do we plan to be 'on our own' for a week or two? Life is what it is. This is a good 'disaster' movie, as those movies go but really, the crap our government and the elite are into is much worse. They are 'screwing the world and unlike the volcano and magma, there is no stopping them, we'll get no relief, there is no place 2 go

  • What if the recent Exxon ,Yellowstone River oil spill is just a pretext to "help" the vulcano to errupt with the use of some nuclear bombs so the NWO distract the people of what is really happening ...? Some say that Chile, Haiti, eartquakes, Iceland volcano, Japan tsunami etc. were artificially made, by some secret organization....Sounds really crazy...but this is the internet and its allowed :-)...but really ?

  • @nfexp Not really all that secret nfexp, research H.A.A.R.P - An instrument of the Shadow World Government. They threatened the Japanese finance minister with the "earthquake machine", he capitulated to them and they used the machine anyway

  • @puppetjaw Conspiracy Theories. At most, HAARP can cause you a migraine due to electrosmog. But that's about it.

  • For some reason, even though a super eruption scenario is no laughing matter, I wanna make a youtube poop off of this.

  • WHERE THE FUCK CAN I DOWNLOAD THIS?!!!

  • @MrDbz1995 (1) Get Firefox; (2) Get the YT Downloader plugin; (3) enjoy :-)

  • @MrDbz1995 i dont want the film in parts or broken in places. besides ive already found a torrent for it on TPB

  • Having grown up with Yellowstone (Gardiner MT) out my back door I can honestly say that everything they mention 'scientifically' in this video is public knowledge. Go visit the park (after it stops raining/snowing there... crazy freakin weather!) ... pretty much common sense once you see it for yourself.

  • 5th time watching this in like a year. I'm such a nerd. =[

  • They sghowed us this thing in 6th grade. What a scary thing to show a bunch of 12 and 11 year olds

  • @Kailuh727 god, me too! they showed it to us in Literacy and we were all like O_O

  • Wyoming of course. Shit always comes from red states

  • Atleast when Yellow Stone blows up, people will stop bitchin about "Global Warming" lol

  • 7:05 He stated the odds. Therefore it will happen. Why do they always jinx it?

  • Fuck me...Im watching this YET AGAIN. I must really like this stuff.

  • Thank you so much!!! This got me an 'A'!!

  • I see Maybourne has a new career, well. Atleast he can warn SG-1, so they can send somone to help when that thing blows.

  • thx for posting this :)

  • Is this cloverfield? lol

  • that guy owes her $6million

  • thats billy elliots dad "Fucken ballet!!!"

  • even if you did that the volcano will still erupt.... the volcano has vents to get rid of some pressure but it still builds and if u try to make an opening to release it it will make a unnatural vent and it could make a more deadly eruption

  • drill a big ass hole down to the lava put a nuke in there and blow open a bigger hole. the bigger hole vents out the heat and pressure. eruption canceled...sir.

  • @MLGLockItUp

    You're grasp of physics and geology is astounding. Buy a book!

  • @MLGLockItUp Hey, which movie did u watch??? I'm a geologist, & I never thought some1 gonna said that...

    ur theories, eventually, will trigger even huge eruption (pressure that already built up + nuke injection = worse than Katy Perry imagination~)...

    As far as I know, it's mother nature, no 1 can argue with her~

  • @mohdhazimmusa i was just joking.

  • @MLGLockItUp

    You do that and tell me how it works out for you. :]

    But let me go to Hawaii or Asia first. Thanks.

  • they have a vrgl in ODST

  • We're all doomed D:

  • We watched this movie in science class!!!! I love this moviee!!!!! I know weard right. Well anywayyy....This movie is a little scary, but when i am older i would love to study Volcanoes and such.

  • @24DezDez meee tooo

  • @alyshaya Hahaaha :)

  • so im juss watching this cause i hav H.W. on it -_____- ughh...

    stupid Mr. Sands :(

  • this scares the heck outa me. how do you protect ur kids?

  • @wadyano To be honest by watching this you're taking the first steps to helping protect your children. I believe that these kind of shows not only inform us about these kind of events but I also think that by watching them they will help people survive. It allows people to understand how best to survive these catastrophes :). To be honest the chances of this happening are so very tiny I would suggest you don't worry too much :).

  • @wadyano You can't! Just get the hell out of their before it blows. You either die in the explosion quickly or suffer volcanic winter.

  • Why do I keep watching this again and again...this movie is like a drug or something

  • considering that I live in Wyoming, I do hope this doesn't happen, but geologists around here are growing very concerned at increased activity in Yellowstone lately, and after the quake in Japan the other day, their concern is increasing. Of course, we had the same concerns 8 years ago and nothing happened, and I don;t live my life worrying about it.

  • @1wyomingmama but it can happen in the near future

  • @1wyomingmama apparently the signs should be pretty obvious and far in advance. at least that's what they think. if the height of the caldera raises 10 feet, get the fuck out of dodge man

  • with Japans earthquakes this volcano might blow week

  • where is goku???

  • forget 2012 this could happen this year or in 1000 years

  • Sounds like the intro to Ted Bundy,  or scream. lol

  • Why does the intro from 3:30 sound like I'm about to watch the flippin' Highlander? :/

  • Where the fuck did they get the hologram technology from?

  • @SupremeCommander360 And then some

  • @SupremeCommander360 The same way the U.S. government settles issues. Pretend they have the answer. AKA - pretend they have holograms. :P

  • Interesting fact - that plasma cutter /flame/ they show is over 30,000 degrees. It cuts steel by vapourizing the iron.

  • i like the it a true story, but it hasnt happended yet thing

    its clever

  • yay BBC :)

  • The Mighty McGloin.

  • 5:01 OMG The young Justin Bieber.

  • go to 5:50 and then hit 6. YOU will rofalyho ( roll on the floor and laugh your head off.)

  • @doom30000123 nothing new, everyone born has to die. The thing is, we are eternal spirits, so best to learn how to transcend this miserable cycle of birth and death.

  • We are all going to die by FLYING SATELLITES IN SPACE!!!

  • actually its not based on fact...its based on conjecture....the physical evidence is interpreted and a story emerges based on the bias of the observer.....there is no reliable way to date these events and no way to know for sure what happened...its guesswork.

  • @fowzie777 Actually, it has happened before. There were just no people around back then, only dinosaurs. Burnt bones under a thick layer of volcanic ash have been found. Several states were covered in ash. Pretty much everything died, but global devastation was not complete, so when the asteroid came and wiped out the dinosaurs, there was still plenty to kill.

  • DOOM!!!

    Sorry, GLP issues, carry on plox!

  • is it wierd that its exactly 2:21 here??

  • Science projects suck O.o freaking volcanos, no one cares about you!

  • @newtonbengalcat i like science...

  • @SpartanMJO12 I like writting and couldn't dislike science any more than I already do... but then again, I'm 13 :)

  • My science teacher showed us this movie! We still have to finish it though. Good documentary of the LOLCANO!

  • @GreenDayRulez54 same xvirtualhigh5x

  • christian fucktard

  • @AcrylSonF Go back to GLP Trolltard <3

  • The BIBLE predicts this SUPER VOLCANO ...Rev 6:12 I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 13and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. 14The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Imagine the ash making the sun like sackcloth and the moon look red through it !!!

  • @adrahaxxen I respect your devotion to your chosen faith, but I feel I must respond. Since the passages in Revelation were written, there have been cataclysmic eruptions; Krakatoa comes immediately to mind, as does Mt. St. Helens. You can believe what you want, in whatever dogma you choose, but PLEASE refrain from shoving down other people's throats. Your dogma only inspires you; the rest of us prefer to live without it. Peace to you.

  • love this movie - not too realistic but so intense!!

  • This movie is like the China Syndrome: A primer that gives a play by play of what will happen when this thing tears itself (and us) a new one.

  • this is my favorite movie thing :) thanks soo much for posting this

  • I just love watching all these Natural Disaster Films.... even if the plot and acting are horrible (I just laugh), the destruction is nice if done right.

  • this is like my fifth time watching it ^^ god i love this

  • i watched this movie last year in science and it was very freaky

  • Volcanos scare the crap out of me, but I find them so interesting.

  • thanx for uploading

  • The geology proves this sort of thing has happened all over the word.

    This production proves that you can educate and entertain at the same time. The best example of which is the "Walking With" series. I hope The Discovery Channel and BBC keep producing such high quality work. Hollywood can't..

  • Haha thanks for uploading this!! I always wanted to see it!!! ^_^

  • It is a true story that has not happened yet? That does not make one fucking bit of fucking sense!

  • @SweetNoteage hey stay peleid here

  • @SweetNoteage It makes perfect sense, you just aren't interpreting it properly. It means that this WILL happen; we just don't know when...

  • @EviLPirateLorD It means that scientists are trying to get famous and rich and their Ideology, Its entirely possible that yellowstone will never go off again, or maybe it will like clockwork, what is known, is how little science knows, and what else id known, is how much is exaterated and untrue.

    Good day.

  • @mako7828

    Last time I checked science was all about the fact that we know next to nothing :p, it's the reason they're searching for it.

  • @mako7828 I know alot of scientists. None of them are very rich and very few are famous. how about this. Name me 10 modern day scientists that are in the top 1% income braket and are famous enough to be spotted on the street by the adverage person. the answer is zero. Even Steven Hawkins is not in the top 1%. And you are very wrong about yellowstone. We know it will erupt again. It is just a matter of when. Scientist do not exagerate. The media does that. Sex and fear makes the most money on TV.

  • @SweetNoteage you need an IQ of around +50 to understand it. For example, tomorrow is Christmas day.

  • @SweetNoteage My god you're stupid if you can't figure that out.

  • @SweetNoteage yeah fucking idiots

    

  • everyone worship the mighty -LOLCANO-MUWAHHAH

  • kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbb­booooooooooooommmmmmmmm just to let you no where all going to die ^_^ stupid lolcano

  • The eruption earlier this year of the Icelandic volcano that grounded so any aircraft all over Europe, proved how vunerable we are too these natural events. That was a relatively small eruption on the scale of things; where as a bigger one like a supervolcano would cause unimaginable destruction, which this bbc docu drama graphically showed.

  • Allright, I am sorry this has confused so many of you. Its a quote from Aliens " Nuke them from space, its the only way to be sure". I was going for popular culture humor but have apparently missed big time with this crowd. Let it die out. Please quit trying to explain how nuking wouldnt work. Please god, thats like saying fill all the holes in the ground with salt so earthquakes stop. Its not what I was meaning. Its not really what I said. Just stop. Lay down for awhile.

  • LOL I posted a lot of comments XD

  • Why do people dislike this movie brianf55?

  • @kardas4210 I don't know because it was good entertainment but I suppose people have to moan about something. They probably the ones who prefer too see clapped celebrities trying to dance every Saturday night, and then you've got the octaginarian host of the show who has long passed his sell by date.

  • we watched this geography it was mint;]

  • es pelicula o me parece

  • BBC ad Discovery Channel: PLEASE make more movies like this!!! This is so much better than "The Day After Tomorrow" or 2012 or any other Hollywood disaster movie, in my opinion anyway....

  • @enisorian

    too right bro/sis

  • @enisorian agreed.

  • ...You must sacrifice additional virgins...

  • this video was posted 2008 NICE VERY NICE

  • @jamalhadrab what's so nice about that?

  • Super-volcanoes and nature in general is incredible. So fascinating, beautiful, and terrifyingly powerful at the same time :)

  • like if youve had a dream falling off a cliff and when your about to hit the ground you wake up and go wtf

  • I had a dream one week before 9/11 that a passenger plane crashed in the woods across the street. Then, I guess about a month before that, I had a dream that I was in a parking garage and walked out and looked up. I was staring directly up the side of a high rise building and about 10 people holding hands were falling from the top. I backed up into the garage and they splattered right in front of me. Then, out from this pile of bodies, walked a black cat towards me.
